- General Manager - Retail

Permanent |We are seeking an exceptional retail leader to become the General Manager -Retail for Paspaley, Australia's iconic luxury pearl brand. This is an opportunity to steer a family-owned business into its next growth chapter. You will harness your expertise in international and domestic market expansion and team leadership to take an already illustrious brand to even greater heights. About Paspaley Pearls Originating from the pearl beds of Australia, Paspaley has cultivated a global footprint, setting unparalleled benchmarks in the world of pearls. Their ethos extends far beyond the opulent showrooms. It is deeply rooted in a century-long family tradition of striving for nothing short of exceptional. They have not only redefined Australian luxury, but have shaped a unique consumer experience, within Australia and soon, on the global stage. About the Role This is not a position where you will be preoccupied with day-to-day operations—far from it. You will be at the helm of an already high-performing business and a senior leadership team who are well-equipped to manage daily intricacies. Your mettle will be tested in charting new waters and notably expanding their retail presence into the demanding U.S. market. Reporting to the Group CEO, you will serve as a diplomatic yet assertive conduit between the operational team and a family-led board. Your role goes beyond standard corporate governance. It treads into the exciting realm of leading a division of a diverse family business, where your ability to manage upwards will be as important as your forward-facing leadership. You will own the P&L and be directly accountable for business growth, stretching from domestic store expansions and refurbishments to penetrating new global and domestic markets. With a proven track record in managing businesses of significant scale, you will be familiar with the sort of scaled expansion and laser-focused customer service they are envisioning. You will understand the nuance of high-net-worth customer relationships and be able to imagine the future of retail without being confined by the present. About You Your professional arc should read less like a resume and more like a manual of retail leadership. You have sculpted businesses, not just managed them, and your experience should demonstrate not just a capacity for growth, but for transformation. We are looking for a retail savant, whose experience extends from customer-centricity to understanding the delicate balance of wholesale dynamics. Your leadership style is paradoxical: cool-headed yet bold, detail-obsessed yet big-picture-oriented. You lead through inspiration, not intimidation, and your approach is grounded in thoughtful inquiry, careful planning, and an unyielding commitment to outcomes. Culturally, you are a natural fit for an environment that places a premium on innovation, values its people like family, and obsesses over every customer interaction. Your credentials should be unimpeachable; with preference for an MBA, and at least 15 years of progressive leadership in the retail sector. It is important to stress that luxury retail experience is not a requirement. But beyond the paperwork, We are looking for someone whose career tells a story of ambition fulfilled, challenges conquered, and a relentless pursuit of retail perfection. We invite you to explore this exciting leadership opportunity. This is an exclusive and retained assignment being handled by Richard Wynn at Oceans. All direct and third-party applications will be forwarded to Oceans for consideration.Apply now
